Grammar for HESI A2 Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the phrase that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. Over the next few months, we ___________.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "will listen and learn." In the sentence, "Over the next few months, we will listen and learn," the future tense "will" is needed to indicate a planned action. The verb "listen" should be in the base form to match "will." A: "listen and learn" - Incorrect because it lacks the future tense needed for the context. B: "listening and learning" - Incorrect because it uses present participle forms which are not suitable for future actions. C: "had listened and learned" - Incorrect because it uses past perfect tense, which is not appropriate for future events.

Question 2 of 5

Select the word in the following sentence that is not used correctly. Try not to lose patience or suffer a drop in morale.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: lose. In the sentence, "Try not to lose patience or suffer a drop in morale," the word "lose" is used incorrectly because you don't "lose" patience; you "run out of" or "lack" patience. The word "lose" implies misplacing something physical, not an abstract concept like patience. The other choices (B: patience, C: suffer, D: morale) are used correctly in the sentence as they convey the intended meaning without any grammatical errors.

Question 3 of 5

Select the phrase or clause that is misplaced in the following sentence. With torn pages, I returned the book I'd just bought to the store.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "With torn pages" is misplaced because it should be closer to the noun it modifies, which is "the book." Placing it at the beginning of the sentence creates confusion as it seems to modify the subject, "I," instead. The phrase should be placed immediately after "the book" for clarity. Choices B, C, and D are not misplaced in the sentence as they are in the correct order and maintain the logical flow of the sentence.

Question 4 of 5

Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of the following sentence? Nothing can be more delightful than a late-night swim in the reservoir.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: then. In the context of the sentence, "then" should be spelled as "than" to make the sentence grammatically correct. "Than" is used for making comparisons, while "then" is used to indicate time or sequence. The other choices, A: Nothing, B: delightful, and D: reservoir are all spelled correctly and do not impact the sentence's meaning or grammar.

Question 5 of 5

Select the word that will make the following sentence grammatically correct. The patients are resting comfortably; ___________, bed checks should still be done every half hour.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: otherwise. In the context of the sentence, "otherwise" is the most appropriate choice as it indicates that despite the patients resting comfortably, bed checks should still be done every half hour to ensure their well-being. "Despite" (A) is not the best fit as it implies a contrast rather than a necessary action. "However" (B) introduces a contrast rather than a condition. "Afterward" (D) indicates a sequence of events rather than a condition that should be met concurrently.
